"Mamdani comes from a culture that lies about everything," Maguire posted on X on July 4. He included a screenshot referencing The New York Times' reporting about how Mamdani marked his identity on a college application.

It's hate speech. There being real Islamists or Nazis in the world doesn't change the intention.
